Migration of the Kamishi by Gaddy Bergmann is the first novel in the Feral World series, a science fiction, post-apocalyptic odyssey set 3,000 years in the future. Humanity has barely survived a near-extinction-level event - the collision of a major asteroid on Earth in the middle of the Twenty-First Century, complicated by the vagaries of global warming.

In Migration of the Kamishi,, Blake, the story’s central character, must lead the last remnants of his massacred tribe across North America in search of new lands. Along the way he encounters dangers, enemies and "Rubbletowns," the millenia-old ghosts of what were once gleaming cities.

The story is unique in that it offers an optimistic view of post-apocalyptic society, which has reformed into local tribes that depend on hunting and gathering. Gaddy Bergmann (Denver) is a zoologist and microbiologist, and he carefully crafts a world where the biosphere develops naturally in the absence of Man’s misguided management of the planet.
